The 125th anniversary meet ing is to be held in the his toric Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston. Synod has approved a 45- acre tract of land in Clinton as the location for the extension of the Presbyterian Home’s services and programs. The Board of Directors has already begun preliminary study on the development of the site and will present a master plan at the 1970 meeting of Synod, through Sy nod’s Institution Committee, according to an article in the Presbyterian Home News. The article also says, “The actual beginning of the Pied mont-area Home will depend upon the retirement of the in debtedness of the Presbyterian Home at Summerville and the raising of funds for the new fa cilities in at Clinton. “The need for the additional home is pressing. “Because South Carolina Presbyterians have been con stant in their support to date, the Board has expressed its confidence that the 1970 and other future goals will be met.” Ruling Elder DavidW. Robin son, of Columbia, is moderator- in-nomination for this year’s meeting of the synod. The Rev. Dr. Frank B. Estes of Sum merville is the stated clerk of the synod and the Rev. Dr. Ar thur M.

The synod is co-ex- tensive with the state ofSouth Carolina and is composed of eight presbyteries or sub-dis tricts. Reports and recommenda tions for the six institutions of the synod will be acted upon by the synod. These institu tions include three for higher education: Columbia Theolo gical Seminary in Decatur, Ga.; Presbyterian College at Clinton, and Queens College in Charlotte, N. C. The three homes supported by the synod are: Thornwell Orphanage at Clinton, Presbyterian Home for the elderly at Summerville, and the William Brearley Home at Montreat, N. C. The budget proposed for the causes of the synod in 1971 amounts to $560,000. This is for the support of the six institu tions of the synod, for minis try on college campuses of the state, for church extension and for Christian education. The causes of ‘the General As sembly, including World Mis sions, are asking the synod for $607,367 in addition to the bud get for the synod’s causes and also to that which the presby teries will raise for their own work which is chiefly new churches and helping weak churches.

Wreckers May Use Flashing Red Lights Wreckers may now use mounted oscillating, rotatingor flashing red lights at the scene of an accident according to a law enacted during the recent leg islative session. Heretofore, wreckers were not allowed to use this type light at any time because a mounted red oscillating, rotating or flashing red light is designat ed for the use of emergency vehicles only. The wrecker still has to be at the scene of an accident before it is lawful for it to use this type of light. According to S. C. State High way Department officials a wrecker is now classified as an emergency vehicle once it reaches the scene of an acci dent. The wrecker is necessary to remove the vehicles involved in an accident out of the roadway or may perhaps be needed to re move occupants who are pinned or trapped inside wrecked ve hicles.
